Water Seal Replacement
1 Go through the prior steps to remove the gear
reducer.
2 Remove rotating half of water seal from bottom
of auger.
3 Clean auger of any sealant at water seal
mounting position.
4 Add a small bead of food grade silicone sealant
to the shoulder of the auger where the water
seal will go.
Note: Do NOT touch the mating surfaces of the
water seal with fingers or sealant.
5 Lubricate / moisten (lightly - use food grade
lube) only the rubber part of the new water seal
and slide it onto the auger, rubber side against
the auger shoulder. Force it onto the sealant as
far as it will go.
6 Remove the stationary half of the old water
seal from the bottom of the evaporator.
7 Lubricate or moisten the outer edge of the new
seal and push it into the bottom of the
evaporator tube until flush with the bottom of
the tube. Be sure it is in as straight as
possible.
Note: Do NOT touch the inner ring of the water seal
with fingers or sealant. Wipe off with rubbing
alcohol if they were touched.
8 Position the gear reducer under the evaporator.
9 Push the gear reducer and adapter flange up
into the bottom of the evaporator until the
mounting holes line up. This forces the
stationary half of the water seal to the correct
location.
10 Screw in the four allen head screws into the
side of the bottom of evaporator tube.
11 Remount the gear reducer and evaporator
assembly into the ice machine. Secure the
mounting pan with the original screws.
12 Carefully lower the auger with the other half of
the water seal attached into the evaporator
tube. Rotate auger until it slips into place.
